Jaskinia Twardowskiego, Limestone cave in Dębniki district, Kraków, Poland.
The cave system extends for 500 meters through multiple corridors and chambers, featuring a main hall that measures over 30 meters in length.
Initial documentation of the cave dates to 1865, with subsequent archaeological discoveries in 1980 revealing evidence of human habitation during ancient times.
Local folklore connects the cave to Master Twardowski, a Polish nobleman and sorcerer who allegedly conducted alchemical experiments within its chambers.
The cave contains three entrances, with the main opening measuring 2.5 meters wide and 2 meters high, located near a military unit concrete fence.
Georadar studies conducted by AGH University researchers indicate the presence of undiscovered cavities across multiple levels beneath the known passages.
